When you need to get things off your chest.

Trans Kids

There is a new trend on the rise for some young children today. It is called Gender Dysphoria. According to the American Psychiatric Association, Gender Dysphoria (GD) involves a conflict between their biological gender and the gender with which they identify.

Now, as with any subject in America these days, there are two very distinct sides to this issue; of children transitioning. The left states that this should be allowed to take place.

Let’s take a look at the argument from the left. Understandably, they do not want to subject children to any type of distress; especially if it could end in suicide. So, to the left, allowing a child to transition will help prevent them from taking their own life.

But how true is this? Will allowing children, some as young as five, to transition keep them from committing suicide? Will it increase their overall happiness? Can it help them become a productive member of society?

And what about long term? Is allowing your child to transition really going to improve their overall happiness for the rest of their life? Is it really going to prevent them, in the long run, from committing suicide?

Another argument has been for children with this disorder to use puberty blockers. The left has said it is good to use so that these children will have more time to figure out how to deal with being transgender. But again, using puberty blockers could have very serious side effects. And since puberty is generally what cures children of GD, wouldn’t blocking it cause your child more pain and suffering?

If you have to be 18 to vote and fight for your country, shouldn’t you also be 18 before you can make a life altering decision? Most people would suggest that getting a tattoo is a life altering decision. And you would still have to be 18 to make that decision on your own. So I ask you, is allowing your child to transition the right thing to do? Or could it potentially be a form of child abuse?
